03:01 <****> boo irssi :þ
03:01 <****>/; and a line to reverse
03:03 <****> can a for $i (6..1) work?
03:03 <****> Did you try it?
03:03 <****> yes
03:03 <****> Did it work?
03:03 <****> no
03:04 <****> dwu: 99% of women think insects are 'icky'
03:04 <****> you can always reverse (1..6).
03:04 <****> iank: not in this case
03:04 <****> or... reverse the function?
03:05 <****> initself: yes
03:05 <****> dwu: slacker!
03:05 <****> luke-jr: for $i (reverse (1..6)) { ...
03:06 <****> e1f: In which case I'm in the 0.9% of women who think -most- insects -aren't- icky; then there 0.1% of women who think no insects are icky. Sorry.
03:06 <****> i c
03:06 <****> iank: thanks
03:08 <****> (see, now he isn't interested ;))
03:08 <****> Khisanth: Yeth.
03:09 <****>+
03:09 <****> perhaps that's why most entymologists are men
03:10 <****> it would be an interesting statistic
03:10 <****> qbot: what's an entymologist
03:10 <****> I don't know what an entymologist is.
03:10 <****> qbot: what's an entomologist
03:10 <****> on lobsters to see if they felt pain, some concluding they do and others that they don’t), but a guess from an entomologist is better than my guess. is so strongly associated with that of the diminutive size of its objects, that an entomologist is synonymous with everything futile and childish. Brown, an entomologist, is an extension program specialist with the Texas Cooperative Extension. Sometimes, being an entomologist is like
03:10 <****> Oh, gods, this is going to turn into "how many women in X field" :/
03:11 <****> there aren't enough women in computer science!!!11!1
03:11 <****> wot?
03:11 <****> It depends on the width of the field and how many characters are the average woman.
03:12 <****> In the sentence "Society's rush to develop Web-based apps puts a stiff premium on the skills of great programmers.", does stiff premium mean programmers will make more or less money?
03:12 <****> more
03:12 <****> then how come i can't find a freaking good job?
03:13 <****> what would be the smartest way to iterate over an @array = (7,20,3,23,35) and if $key == $scalar store the rest of @array in @arrayrest; ?
03:13 <****> you have to be in the right place at the right time
03:13 <****> searching for water in the desert isn't going to get you anywhere
03:13 <****> elf: thanks.
03:13 <****> move to an are that has jobs you want or chance careers
03:13 <****> area
03:13 <****> elf: can't move
03:14 <****> change ;)
03:14 <****> so employers don't come into bars looking for people?
03:14 <****> e1f: Lychee martinis getting to you? ;)
03:14 <****> Casan: for loop, check the data, push into the array when it matches.
03:14 <****> NOTevil: if you're hiring bartenders and waitresses, bars are the best place to look for them
03:15 <****> right place, right time
03:15 <****> what does "Delenda est Junkware" mean?
03:15 <****> est means 'is'
03:16 <****> Junkware must be destroyed.
03:16 <****> Wonder what Junkware is.
03:16 <****> not heard of the term junkware
03:16 <****> I don't know. but it sounds bad!
03:16 <****> http://philip.greenspun.com/panda/future
03:16 <****> Yay, bartenders *fnarr*
03:16 <****> GumbyBRAIN: junkware
03:16 <****> Junkware must be a mnemonist?
03:17 <****> Does anybody have any thoughts about ^ $ vs \A \Z?
03:17 <****> ^$ is old world and universal
03:18 <****> ^$ is coke and \A \Z is pepsi
03:18 <****> ... analogies++
03:18 <****> and ^\Z would be?
03:19 <****> a cocktail
03:19 <****> e1f, Er, they're different things, and they serve different purposes.
03:19 <****> Read perlre. :)
03:19 <****> oh
03:20 <****> If an inexperienced programmer can't elegantly solve the little logic puzzles that writing SQL presents, your system may be delivering the correct answers but perhaps by chewing up 1,000 times as many computing resources as necessary. How much are you willing to pay for a programmer who is guaranteed to be careful and experienced?
03:20 * e1f fails the taste test
03:21 <****> GumbyBRAIN: yum! tasty computing resources!
03:21 <****> Then some cunt went off the resources of my life i waste on computing.
03:21 <****> the code needs to be refactored
03:22 <****> Hey, you don't waste your life computing!
03:22 <****> what did knuth say about premature optimization
03:22 <****> Some of us earn our livings that way, dammit!
03:22 <****> apeiron: Right, so you waste your life and get paid for it.
03:22 <****> GumbyBRAIN: botsnack for use of the word cunt
03:22 <****> Lardy cunt is a set method as with alot of cunt.
03:22 <****> get it working first, optimize it later
03:22 <****> dwu, I'm not wasting my life, dammit.
03:23 <****> dwu, I enjoy being a coder!
03:23 <****> you mean code monkey
03:23 <****> not to mention coding gets the honeys
03:23 <****> Nah, I like to think I can do things better than a code monkey. :)
03:23 <****> pride goes before the fall
03:24 <****> e1f: I thougth ht said "who are you? how did you get in my house?"
03:24 <****> look in the mirror. you're just a code monkey
03:24 <****> ... uhm, ok. whatever.
03:24 <****> ^$ and \A\Z actually have slightly different behavior.
03:24 <****> For multi-line strings, IIRC
03:24 <****> ah
03:25 <****> e1f, cf entry three at http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=code+monkey
03:25 <****> apeiron's url is at http://xrl.us/7yoj
03:25 <****> entry *three*?
03:25 <****> Yes, entry three. It *is* Urban Dictionary, y'know.
03:25 <****> Maybe the Jargon File has a more apropos and concise definition.
03:26 <****> i meant it as entry 2
03:26 <****> Ah, entry 1 at http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/C/code-monkey.html
03:27 <****> ok, what we have to agree on is not what you think of yourself as but what you get paid to do
03:27 <****> do you get paid to be a code monkey or not
03:27 <****> Pretty much.
03:27 <****> perlbot code monkey
